in effect

1914. Interlocutory judgments; notice; delay for further action A. Except as provided in Paragraphs B and C of this Article, the rendition of an interlocutory judgment in open court constitutes notice to all parties. B. The interlocutory judgment shall be reduced to writing if the court so orders, if a party requests within ten days of rendition in open court that it be reduced to writing, if a judgment is granted or an exception is sustained in accordance with Article 1915(C), or if the court takes the interlocutory matter under advisement. The clerk shall mail or deliver in open court notice of the judgment to each party. Delivery of the signed judgment in open court shall constitute notice of judgment and shall be documented in the record of the proceeding. C. If the interlocutory judgment is one refusing to grant a new trial or a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, the clerk shall mail notice to each party regardless of whether the motion is taken under advisement. The delay for appealing the final judgment commences to run only from the date of the mailing of the notice, as provided in Articles 2087 and 2123. D. Except as provided in Paragraph C of this Article, each party shall have ten days either from notice of the interlocutory judgment or from the mailing of notice when required to take any action or file any pleadings in the trial court. This provision does not suspend or otherwise affect the time for applying for supervisory writs, nor does it affect the time for appealing an interlocutory judgment in accordance with Article 2083. E. The provisions of this Article do not apply to the certification or denial of a certification of a class action in accordance with Article 592(A)(3)(c) or appealable orders or judgments granting or denying a preliminary injunction in accordance with Article 3612. Acts 1983, No. 61, §1; Acts 1995, No. 657, §1; Acts 2003, No. 545, §1; Acts 2025, No. 250, §3; Acts 2026, No. 127, §1.
